1899 Map of San Mateo

USGS Topo · Published 1899

About this map

Pueblo Lands of San Francisco and the northern San Mateo peninsula are documented here during a period of significant transition from rural land grants to industrial and residential growth. The landscape is dominated by the ridges of San Bruno Mountain and the water infrastructure essential to the growing city, including San Andreas Lake and the Crystal Springs Dam. Transportation is anchored by the Southern Pacific RR and the Monterey Line, which link early coastal settlements like Colma and Baden Sta. to the urban core.
